[QUOTE="Cohiba, post: 2087258, member: 2550"] I don't know what city you live in but check and see if they have a code enforcement officer. If it really bothers you turn on the sprinkler system when you see them in their yard getting ready to go across your's. I use that alot in the spring and summer. If it continues and you want to pursue it, I would do these steps: 1. Find out who the owner is....look online(County Assessor) for the owner or go to your County Assessor's office and see if they can do a search. Send them a certified letter explaing in detail the problem you are having. 2. Send the renter of the home the same certified letter. Both letters are legal proof that you have contacted them or tried to contact them. Keep the returned cert. or the entire returned letter if there is no delivery. Save these items, they may have to be used as proof of notification. Telling the police or a code enforcement officer you have asked verbally might not hold up. If you tell the P.O. or Code Enforcement that you have asked(verbally) and then show them the certification....you have more of a solid ground to stand on.....the renter or owner will dispute verbal contact, but with a certified letter its a little more difficult to dispute. 3. Call Code Enforcement or the Police Department. Explain property damage AND state your concerned that who would be liable if the children were hurt on your property.....act like a victim.....Your concerned that you might back over them with your car and who is libable. Always state your case like your a victim and you want to legally protect yourself. If they cannot help, ask THEM what they suggest to reduce this matter. If they cannot help consult an attorney...if you want to press it that far. 4. Call DHS and ask for child welfare. Expalin in the victim's role your concern about children roaming(stress the age of the children) and possible unsupervised roaming, especially in the street. 5. Talk to your attorney about your situation. Ask him or her if it would be wise to "scare" the land owner with a bill on paying his half of a fence to "protect" the children from being in your yard and the prevention of property damage. ***This is what I have used in the past to get the kids out of my yard.*** I found what I feel is the most irritating music on earth.
